The Divine message of salvation has been carried across the Empire from Jerusalem to Greece, taking root in the most unlikely of godless places. With the gospel still finding hearts and working miracles against all expectations, ekklesias are growing – yet so are their problems. Paul’s third and longest journey is drawing to an end, but continual physical and emotional trials are taking their toll.

“Paul’s passion for his people and the faith of their forefathers smouldered within him in a never-ending conflict of love and dismay. The muted sounds from the synagogue both comforted him and grieved him. Such was his sorrow over his erring kinsmen … but what potent emotion was ever dissolved simply by adding reason? What he felt was what he felt.”

Never has the support of fellow-workers in the Lord’s service been so vital. For Loukanos, Sylvanus, Titus, Lydia, Phoebe and young Rufus nothing is static as life sweeps on with personal challenges, triumphs, and surprises amid constantly changing circumstances.
From Philippi down to Korinth, believers old and new face moments of self-revelation and life-changing decisions – while some stumble upon unforeseen happiness. Meanwhile, the race is on to complete the work.
